classic

my sister requested a black & white turband yesterday...
i know big news huh lol!

so anyways....
that led me on a treasure hunt to find some black and white in my 
mountain of fabrics.
while searching for said fabrics, i realized that i have a little problem...
ok a BIG problem...
i have SO MUCH FABRIC!!!!
i swear i'm going to end up on the show hoarders...
thank god john is away at bootcamp bc i literally have a system of where to hop over piles to get to another room....
i told you it was a problem...
i knew when i ran into a wall and stubbed my toe while hopping over said piles that
maybe i should figure out something!!

i have one of those cube things from target which is great for normal fabrics that aren't all 
"lets slip and slide everywhere"
but for everything else it just pours out of that thing like hot lava...
plus i can't really see anything that is stored in their anyway...
i found fabric yesterday that i forgot i even bought 
***cough...hoarder...cough***

so if anyone has any fun ideas on how to store my fabric that is neat and organized, yet allows me to see what i have, then send them my way!

and luckily my search for black and white allowed me to find forgotten fabrics that was a great start to 
a new "classic" collection!!

mrd, arc, & pjp

so anyone that's ever been over to my place knows that i LOVE pics of myself.
i literally have a huge wall of pics of me...
ok it's not just me in all of them...
that would be a bit much...or would it??

and as much as i love seeing my face splashed all over the mrd site,
i actually LOVE seeing mrd's on someone else's pretty little head...
bc my head is actually quite large...in more ways than one;)




so lucky for me, my fave mrd model, ARC was having a mini shoot last weekend 
and i got to go hang out and see how a real model does it...
bc lets be honest for a sec...
i can rock the fun pics, but i cannot "smize" to save my life...
(that's smiling with just your eyes in model lingo)
i just end up looking angry and you can't be angry in a mrd!!!



i also got to finally meet the amazing sam from
she is the sweetest person ever and as you can see from these pics...
she is AMAZEBALLS!!


arc and i also got to sneak in a few pics of the two of us!
love that girl...she is definitely going places...
IN FACT...
she is LA right now and is going to rock the red carpet...
oops orange carpet...
at the kids choice awards this weekend!!!
and of course she'll be in her mrd's:)
hooray...can't wait to see those pics!!

mrd's for suri cruise...yep!



so some exciting things happening over in mrd land...
one super fab opportunity that i've had is making a custom mrd pretty for SURI CRUISE!!!
ahhhhhhhhhh.....totes craziness!!!!!!!!!
i mean, hello.....that girl is a total fashionista!!
and all of this is thanks to the amazing artisan group, who is putting together an amazing set of gifts for 
tom, katie, and suri and i was lucky enough to be chosen to include something special!


so i had to include a signature mrd flower right?  
suri's fave color is pink and her birthstone is a diamond....
so a gorgeous pink flower...
 made of organza's & chiffon's in pretty shades of pink...
and topped off with a rhinestone center
seemed like the perfect choice;)



and because suri's bday is next month
i added a pretty lil' leather bow band in her gift as well...
because why get one pretty when you can get two!!


so fingers crossed she loves her new mrd's!!
